Too big for a small movie? (Help)

[NormanTheDoorman]

I made a intro nothing fancy... It's about 30 or so... seconds long. I used some pictures, no sound, and weak animation only 2 layers. For some odd reason it's 1.00mb big. I was hoping to keep it under 500kb or less even. It's not really a "intro" more like a little movie I could put at a coner of a future site. I'm fortuned enough having a great friend who's doing a great job making a flash site for me.
Anyways I messed around with the 0-100 thingy and nothing even when it's at 1 or 100 it doesn't changed size any suggestions?

-Thanks

Make sure you use either jpeg's or the other file format that photoshop allows you to turn photos into. Bmp's are way too big to use in flash files.

Yeah it's an .swf
